I am glad to hear that blue flashes have passed. I hope you are having a better day today. :)
I agree about Ray Charles. What a very talented man, who despite disability was determined to live his life. He was wonderfully imperfect, made mistakes, learned from them, battled depression associated with his demons, his disability, moved on with his life and became an inspiration & example for many people with disabilities.
I dont know about special...specail needs maybe! But you would say that your my mum*
Hope you have a good day!
